Matchbox Twenty - Parade lyrics

When the slow parade went past

When it felt so good you knew it couldn't last


And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning

And you'd have to just go home



And the way it all went by

And somebody said "come on its getting late"

And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way

And now you wish that you had stayed



And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around

And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out



Oh no

There's so much more that you need to work out

Oh no

You don't want that parade to leave you now



And the days are all the same

And the town so big and no one knows your name

And the people fade away

And all stars are just a flicker

And you're left there all alone



When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around

And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out



Oh no

There's so much more that you need to work out

Oh no

You don't want that parade to leave you now



When the music's over

But the song stays in your head



Oh no

There's so much more that you need to work out

Oh no

You don't want that parade to leave you now



Yeah

There's so much more that you need to work out

Yeah

You don't want that parade to leave you now
